Joe Kovacs 23.23 metres, Diamond League Record, PB and second longest all time

Paola Moran to the semis with 51.18

 

I hope she just slowed down in the final 100 metres knowing she wasnt in danger, I dont want to think that she just ran out of gas and could be struggling with the closing speed

Well, horrible athletics Olympics for us, but somewhat expected.

How come? you already have Gold medals in Rowing, Tennis and some more hardware in Taekwondo

[Braulio 111]

Kolak three failed throws and going back to Croatia 

 

 

[Braulio 111]

Allyson Felix safely into the Semis, I think she can win a medal

Now I am curious how it is pronounced correctly, because I'm always going with PiKardo as well  

 

Although sometimes I'm going with the 'ch' as in 'champion'  

It's with CH as in Champion... 

[Braulio 111]

Whaaaat? Amantle Montsho was here??

[Braulio 111]

2016 Olympic Javelin Champion Sara Colak (CRO) is on the verge of elimination, no mark after 2 throws, one left

 

 

[Braulio 111]

Hughes Fabrice Zango, world indoor record holder and heavy favourite for the Gold barely qualifies to the final in 12th place

 

 

[Braulio 111]

So Shaunae is going fot the 200/400

 

Wise decision, I think the 400m is wide open and she can wit it with a so-so performance

 

That 50.51 heat time looked sooooooooooo easy 

 

[Braulio 111]

Lewandowski is into the Semis

 

Samuel Tefera (ETH) one of the pre contenders out as well as the second Ingebrigtsen brother 

 

 

[Braulio 111]

Maybe it was too much for El Bakkali after last night Gold in the 3000m Steeplechase

filed a protest and are accepted into the 4x400 mixed relay final. So 9 teams in total. and their 415/385 combo are safe (duh).

Now Spain should put a protest because they thought were qualified and now find they are bumped by 3 teams and out VAMOS ESPANA!

[Braulio 111]

70m plus Van Klinken or should I say Van Fluke? here not even 62 metres and is OUT

Some Swiss girl is out of heptathlon and ?? Adrianna Sułek is in. She posted about rellocation on her insta. 

 

with all respect to the polish girl but wish the girl from Trinidad and Tobago got that quota instead as she surely would be very competitive for a medal or top 5

 

 

[Braulio 111]

Chrstine Mboma 48.54 with just 18 years old is INCREDIBLE

 

Namibia also has Beatrice Masilingi who could be under 49 seconds soon and she is posting PB in 200m

 

So now Miller Uibo has either namibian at the 200 or 400 in Tokyo 

[Braulio 111]

As far as I know, Miller Uibo is focusing in the 200m only, schedule makes it very difficult to go for the 200/400 

[Braulio 111]

Salwa Eid Nasser suspended two years will miss the Games

 

With no Nasser and Miller Uibo at the 400m in Tokio then Allyson Felix is looking very good for medal chances 

 

BREAKING NEWS: 400m world champion Salwa Eid Naser banned for two years, will miss Tokyo Olympics (sportsmax.tv)

[Braulio 111]

Britain has several option for wining medals in Tokyo, maybe the medal for Johnson-Tompson is in danger but I can see Dina taking at least a bronze, brits tend to do well in the relays and also they have a shot at 800, 1500 in both men & women. 

 

I predict something between 3 to 6 medals, can't see Britain not taking at least one

 

 

[Braulio 111]

Athing Mu, the american sensation over the 400m ran 49.68 yet another American U20 record and it was in the quarterfinals!

 

Girl is running a lot, I don't think she will have anything left when US Olympic trials come though would like to be prove wrong

 

 

[Braulio 111]

18 year old american Athing Mu wins the 400m at SEC Championships with a new US Junior record time of 49.84

 

Teenagers from Africa and now american will be making big debut this season and going into Tokyo if they all qualify will make the event very very good against Shaunae Miller-Uibo and the current world champion. An historic and potential world record race at the Olympics?

 

[Braulio 111]

Laura Galvan is becoming slowly but steady a great athlete for our nation and I hope she can do it very well at the Olympics and make a statement so she can get the recognition she already deserves within mexican sports community

 

National Record, Pan Am Gold Medalist and now on to her first Olympics with plenty of time ahead of her

 

and 19th mexican athlete qualified!? wow I guess this will be one of our biggest teams and considering this time the qualifying process is harder than before

 

 

[Braulio 111]

Very impressive time for Tonatiu, I think he has great potential and hopefully this is not his peak of the season
